Asking Her to Apologize for Slavery

Text on the meme

ASKING HER TO APOLOGIZE FOR SLAVERY IS LIKE ASKING HER TO APOLOGIZE FOR PEARL HARBOR

What it means

A two-panel image shows two young girls in close-up, with captions comparing asking one girl to apologize for slavery to asking another to apologize for Pearl Harbor. The joke satirizes assigning collective guilt or demanding personal apologies for historical events someone did not cause, using a comparison between Western slavery and Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor.
